Quality Winder GA septic system installers do a lot of legwork, long before a unit gets put into the ground. A brand new unit will last decades, and possibly even generations, if it's installed the right way, but it can malfunction instantaneously if it's not. On top of that, all Winder GA septic system installers must secure a permit for them to execute the install, and may need to coordinate with city or county officials to show that a number of tests were run in order to progress. These three assessments are essential primary steps that should always be taken before any job or designs are done, and it may also be beneficial to accomplish them before you acquire a property, so you can be assured that a tank and leach field will be permitted. 1. Pit The pit test is very straightforward. During the course of this test, a hole is excavated and the soil is examined to determine its composition. A typical leach field is reliant on the soil's structure to drain successfully. If there is a lot of gravel or sand, your leach field should be ready to discharge the effluent (water) from the tank well, where the soil will finish sanitizing it. If the soil has a considerable amount of clay or rock, it won't sink well, therefore a traditional leach field will not be an alternative. If the site you've picked does not successfully pass the pit test, you may be able to pick another site on your property or use an alternate type of drain field, such as a mound system. 2. Perc The perc, or percolation test, requires digging a 14-inch deep hole, adding a 2-inch layer of sand or gravel, and then filling it with water. The hole is generally left soaked for about two hours, and topped off as needed. After this, the hole is filled with 6 inches of water and monitored for drainage. 3. Visual There are many things an inspector will look into visually. The majority of units are gravity-fed, so they don't depend on electricity or pumps to transfer effluent from the tank to the leach field. Because of this, the slope of the ground is very important. An inspector will also look for inclines that can feed excessive water into the leach field, as well as nearby bodies of water, the water table, and distance from the proposed unit to things like the home and wells.
